I think it's great that people are out here trying different things and getting out of the regular rat race to try to make it. They only thing that I would try to pass on to you is that you need to figure out your Per Mile Rate. You do this by figuring out how much it costs you to move that truck 1 mile. So you have to include Fuel, Truck Note, Insurance, Freight Insurance, Maintenance Account, Driver Pay, Taxes, IFTA (if required), Tolls, Factoring, Load Boards, etc. Then you break it down to the mile, usually with no note an O/O of a semi is about $0.98 - $2.00 per mile, so that is the BARE minimum of what you need to earn. That way, it's much easier to figure out whether a job/week's pay is worth it. Example: if it costs You $1.57 per mile to move that truck and you accepted a Dallas to Miami load paying $2,100.00 you're only making $0.02 profit per mile. Anyways, keep your head up and your mind right because yesterday was the easiest day you had, today will be hard and tomorrow isn't promised.

It's a great source of income if you have no wife or kids and are looking to save money. Just don't waste your life doing it. It's long and irritating work, not to mention unhealthy. Being a fitness freak it almost killed me. Being on the road 12 hours a day had me thinking horrible thoughts; it will get to you after a while. Also, another thing to consider. If you use your CDL and get paid (cpm), you will be denied any regular mortgage unless you have two years experience; Fannie Mae rules. It was a painful lesson to me.

Basically just make a little video of your load all strapped and ready to go and when you get there to show there is 0 damage. People are crazy, they’ll do anything to avoid paying total. Some people will let you do all of the work and than bring something up hoping you won’t go to court for the money.

Hey watched your latest vid on tarping. I've been driving since I was 18 and now I'm 52. The secret to tarping is fold the front like a envelope so the sides go to the middle then the top comes down over the sides that way the wind blows over and around. Then you do the same at the back but you fold the top down and the sides go to the middle over the top that way the wind blows around it. Then to make it tight use your bungys to pull the tarp to the back before you finish doing the back. Once you've done that put rope in between the crates or pallets and pull the rope tight. if it's done right you don't need strops at all and the load won't move. Also who ever told you to twist the strops was stupid always make sure they not twisted because they will always come loose. Finally once you've done tarping strop your load but you won't have to have them as tight. I carted pallets of cheese on the back of my second truck which was a flatbed and never used strops just a tarp and rope and the load never moved.

I've seen a lot over the road in my life and a lot of the things that go wrong as well with things. But moral of it all is ILL BE UP AND FULLY OPERATING LEGALLY IN THE NEXT 4-6months is the plan. Mean time my cousin is doing the same thing he just bought his first box truck and I'll be driving that one for him OTR while establishing my own things and getting a bit more money together, got about 12 grand at the moment with the cargo van already being taken care of money wise.

Good job and the best of luck in you'r new Box Truck. You made five stacks that week and that's good money. Congrats.
@greenepanda3 жыл бұрын
The average for any box truck “otr” is 5k weekly without weekend hrs. Typically today drivers receive 20-40% of the loads assigned to the truck. Owners/MC holders typically sort out the other functions and finanaces accrued each 7day period. Usually the owner has relationships with the brokers/dispatchers/logistics companies to ensure a steady load pool to pull work from. If the driver has to handle the maintenance, logistics as well as the sec-sec safety requirements and DOT compliance for “otr” specifics that usually leads to accidents. I usually see this being a successful dynamic within the 26ft dry van non Cdl sector or the transportation industry. However the 1man show usually rocks out for about a year until credit is no longer an option to bail out the vehicle from fleet maintenance.. (because there’s no fleet if this makes sense.. ) hard to get that load there when your trying to figure out how to re-gen your diesel exhaust! Be open minded.. be fluid.. I suggest leasing because of zero maintenance and no shortage of vehicles to grow as you choose to.. just saying

@@berberashow4774 I suggest working for a company/owner first (1099). The experience you will obtain in 2mos is priceless. No other form can better prepare you for what you will expect to encounter as an owner if you are still inclined to do so.

minus expenses like insurance, gas, tolls, meals, motels, maintenance, income taxes. A full tank was $150. You need to immediately set up an S-Corp. I would say you're netting about $2,000 per week after all the aforementioned expenses but you're working nonstop 7 days a week, night and day. Very dangerous because you can be so tired. Walgreens and truck stops sell No Doze which are the caffeine pills. They will definitely wake you up when you're tired.
